Orchestrating your disaster recovery plan with Azure Site Recovery

Simple, automated protection and disaster recovery in the cloud

Your environment can be protected by automating the replication of the virtual machines based on policies that you set and control. Site Recovery can protect Hyper-V, VMware and physical servers, and you can use Azure or your secondary data centre as your recovery site. Site Recovery coordinates and manages the ongoing replication of data by integrating with existing technologies, including System Centre and SQL Server AlwaysOn.

Orchestrated disaster recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

Automate the orderly recovery of services in the event of a site outage at the primary data centre with Site Recovery. Applications can be brought up in an orchestrated fashion to help restore services quickly, even for complex multi-tier workloads. Easily create disaster recovery plans in the Microsoft Azure classic portal, where they are stored. The disaster recovery plans can be as simple or as advanced as your business requirements demand, including the execution of custom Windows PowerShell scripts and Azure Automation Runbooks and pauses for manual interventions. Customise networks by mapping virtual networks between the primary and recovery sites, and test disaster recovery plans whenever you want without disrupting the services at your primary location.

Replication and disaster recovery to Azure

Replicating your workloads to Azure enables new capabilties. Applications can be migrated to Azure with just a few clicks, or burst to Azure temporarily when you encounter a surge in demand. Run reports and analytics on copies of production workloads in Azure without having an impact on users. DevTest new versions of applications with copies of live data then seamlessly put the new version into production in your data centre.

Continuous health monitoring with Site Recovery

Site Recovery monitors the state of your protected instances continuously and remotely from Azure. When replicating between two sites that you control, your virtual machines’ data and replication remains on your networks. All communication with Azure in encrypted. When replicating to Azure as the secondary site, your data is encrypted and you can also select encryption for data at rest.
